One of the most frightening aspects of today, it seems to me, is not so much the growth of the Welfare State, though that is bad enough, but the growth of the Welfare State mind in so many people, who accept controls, restrictions, permits, bans and limitations of all kind without question.
The issue at stake is power, who is to hold it? The State or the individual? The Socialist says the State. Social Crediters say the people, and between the two policies there is a gulf that cannot be bridged, though very few seem able to see the sharp distinction between the two.
Thank God that Douglas was "matched with this hour", for by his simple proposals he subtly transfers the power from the State to the individual and that is the shining light that gleams and beckons us on through the darkness at the present time. The more one reflects on the philosophy and the policy of Social Credit the more one sees the height, breadth and depth of it, for it covers everything.
